Bug Description

In Gnome, when installing a Window application via Wine, a menu item is added under the Wine group and optionally a launcher is added on the desktop. This makes it easy to launch Wine applications.

In Unity-qt, these apps don't seem to appear in the dash (not even by searching).
Please note that other launchers like gnome-do handle them correctly.

Ugo, please file separate bugs for both issues, they can be addressed.

Mark, you are right, I mixed up the two issues.
I moved one of the two issues to bug #702452, and corrected this bug to show only the other one.
